title: Transphobic, Abusive Girlfriend -- Dysphoria
date: 26 Jan 2015
...

I am a victim to her, my abuser.  
Yet bigots never think they should accuse her.  
I am a soapbox, slave of haters;  
From time to time, I classify us traitors.

My dysphoria, love of my life,  
I transition with you... without strife?  
My identity: you  
Every test, job, and loo  
Yet... quite often you pull out my knife!

She always kicks "my" genitals  
Cuts my voice and chest  
Attacks my face and social hole
Nevermore in peace I rest.

Perhaps I ought to fight her,  
Perhaps I ought to care.  
But-- androgens have poisoned me.

So little hope, you see....

Dysphoria,  
my reader,  
just try to understand:

Sparingly I use this word  
Only for the worst,  
But for you I do too have--  
*Pure and utter hate*!
